""The vibes were good... nothing can beat this! I did well for taking my time. I may not yet realize how far I've come so far... probably because there's a long way to go before I can ski like I want to, without knee pain. But hey! This is a more than positive first step And most of all... Thank you to all the people who have helped me and accompanied me so far. Without you, nothing would be possible ""
"He had started the 2024-25 season with a second place in Beaver Creek and had been considered the favorite to win the Bormio Downhill after winning on the Stelvio course the year before and leading the Downhill training the day before his crash. During his fateful run, he came off the final jump on the Stelvio course at an awkward angle, flying sideways and nearly landing backward on the hard-packed slope."
Cyprien Sarrazin suffered serious head trauma in a December 2024 Downhill training crash at Bormio, nearly dying and later calling his survival a miracle. He has steadily worked on recovery and posted video evidence of being back on skis, describing the outing as a positive first step despite lingering knee pain. Sarrazin announced intentions to return to competitive ski racing in the 2026–27 season. Prior to the crash he won four World Cup events in 2023–24, including both Hahnenkamm Downhills, and began 2024–25 with a podium in Beaver Creek while leading Bormio training the day before the accident.
